I think they can elevate a simple item that might otherwise be overlooked into something worthy of showcasing, like this shell that I put under a cloche on my coffee table. I found the darling little cloche at a local antique shop and couldn't resist its charm. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi23oHbccfKEHBEq9ZYOk8WBvSj9wbXj23RvWUxyIT6O1Ptdpe5HubyGB1Gpj3I10T3GJNWXs-wAM1zpMRP4tdDnvn78G_TTUkoSF-rf3CJxZ-QBPZ-rTOwKZJdxXSNAom6jEu87GdsdqAh/s1600/010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi23oHbccfKEHBEq9ZYOk8WBvSj9wbXj23RvWUxyIT6O1Ptdpe5HubyGB1Gpj3I10T3GJNWXs-wAM1zpMRP4tdDnvn78G_TTUkoSF-rf3CJxZ-QBPZ-rTOwKZJdxXSNAom6jEu87GdsdqAh/s640/010.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">  I love the way that the pink hues in the shell play upon the pinks in my coffee table books, and that the bell jar gives my vignette a little bit of height.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBJ1UODpdVRbCDy7qLcG9_92leUJA6Oupq0wwdhwX_ENRxXGJ_pNvAfWy5Llq8AnvRBSF1EKwfgmgL1Myl7wG5qWP2DhAVaIs2MUKeJ3IDTljzgdfI_TWFE_JhcJFGvEKTJ97S5fZ5rWal/s1600/007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBJ1UODpdVRbCDy7qLcG9_92leUJA6Oupq0wwdhwX_ENRxXGJ_pNvAfWy5Llq8AnvRBSF1EKwfgmgL1Myl7wG5qWP2DhAVaIs2MUKeJ3IDTljzgdfI_TWFE_JhcJFGvEKTJ97S5fZ5rWal/s640/007.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">One of my newest coffee table books is Nate Berkus's 'The Things that Matter'.
